Public Meetings Report for the week of April 30, 2024

Residents of Cleveland and nearby suburbs come to Cleveland City Council meetings on Monday nights to make a public comment on an issue that affects them most: from pedestrian safety and police reform, to housing barriers and communities feeling left out of neighborhood development plans in Lee-Harvard. 

In this week’s Public Meetings Report, we highlight five local commenters who stepped up to the mic at Cleveland City Hall and shared their thoughts with City Council and the public.  🎧📻👇🏿

The Public Meetings Report is a weekly audio rundown of what happened in local government meetings here in Greater Cleveland – in five minutes or less! The show is based on the work of Cleveland Documenters – residents like you who are trained and paid to document these meetings for the public. Produced by Signal Cleveland and Cleveland Documenters, in partnership with WOVU 95.9FM “Our Voices United,” a Burten, Bell, Carr community radio station.


Reporter/Audio Producer (she/her)
I create audio stories meant to engage and inform people in a way that pushes beyond media stereotypes. I aim to build trust between local media and the community, striving to teach people “how” to think about life in Cleveland, not “what” to think.
